I've seen the ones whereby it locks the brake together with the clutch pedal......something else for them to cut.....

which means more time involved,keep a wheel clamp in the car just in case,or 4....lock up all four wheels... :)

add that to the alarm siren hooked up to your airhorns......an internal siren to make him to deaf....Autolok the steering wheel.....or remove it if you have a Nardi wheel....I used to do that.....I'm a paranoid kunt :uh-huh:

Where do you buy all these security gadgets?

if you use a steering lock (as I do), make sure you install it on the other side of the steering wheel - theives then can't pull it off towards then when they sit in the drivers seat.

I also carry a length of high tensile chain and padlocks, if I am leaving my car for an extended period, I chain it around the rear sub frame and a steel post/telegraph pole. extreme I know, but try to tow that!!!

SICK .. freaking SICK COUNT!

I am now seriously considering a quiktrak this weekend - I would like to know their financial status however.

Me care about my car too, so you got to spend big on your alarm, plus you always do it right the first time. Brant nemesis isnt a bad buy, pretty good alarm system and never had troubles with it. 6 point imoboliser and keypad start.

I however do like the idea of the chain to a pole idea ;)

One of the features he asked for was the Automatic windows. How much does a system cost that when u alarm your car your windows go up by themselves, or do you just have to play around with the wires?

Thx

Apperantly it's not that much more expensive. It's the time it takes your installer to wire the extra wires up from the alarm to the window relays.

$50 ?

There is a small controller device required so that they only go up a certain amount and stop when they have reached the top. Otherwise you could shorten the lifespan of the power window motors.

This controller is actually a very simple logic device with about $5 worth of parts that people sell for 50-80 dollars retail. Plus labour if you dont fit it yourself.

I believe Brandt fit it for about $125. This is another part of the reason i wont buy another brandt alarm.

This use to be available from the UK. I once enquired over several emails about getting this product delivered to my door from the UK and the legal implications.

At the time they were willing to send it in a box labelled "gift" but were unable to give any guarantee's that it would make it past our customs. I didn't end up buying it.

I also can no longer find the homepage for this item. All I can find now is this or similar:

I guess it comes down to how bad the thief wants your car. If he wants it bad, whats to stop em using those wheel jack thingoes and just rolling your car onto a tip truck.

Any alarm is (as mentionted) just a time factor thing. If you are serious about not losing your car, id see the only way would be a combination of all the above thigs listed.

Im going for the satellite tracking, and.....YER RIGHT! like im telling the whole of the WORLD!!

Serioulsy though, dont leave gauges, hand controllers, steroes in plain sight. Use a club lock (steering or clutch pedal), a high intensity led, an alarm (maybe the paging type if you want to know asap if your cars being toyed with)

Its all about how long they need to get what they want. If its the whole car, bad luck...:D

I can't get insurance and I do care about my car.

Why can't you get insurance? If someone was to blow up your car then no alarm is going to protect it form that. Trackers sound good but if the theft knew what he was doing wouldn't he disarm it? Trackers sound pretty good though I might get one.

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
